Hi,
I've been having issue connecting to game servers (Eg, Battlefield 4, Black Ops Zombies and WAW Zombies) and it turns out to be my ports. I port forwarded them in my routers admin page and it still doesn't work. But when i use a program called Smart Port Forwarder and input the same ports it works perfectly. I don't want to use a program. My Router is a Netgear N600 (Model DGND3700)
Thanks

I dont know if it's the same as Belkin routers, but when you port forward, make sure you provide your computer's personal IP address (found in Windows > Command Prompt > Type ipconfig. Your personal IP is the IPv4 address). Also make sure your DMV is open (if you dont feel safe with it that way, just try it for a sec. If it doesn't work, close it again).

Also, make sure you specify whether the ports you're forwarding are UDP or TCP.
